Gentry has learned a lot from his time as an assistant.(Barry Gossage/NBAE/Getty Images)

With Terry Porter remaining in Portland after having his jersey retired there last night, lead assistant Alvin Gentry manned the reins at practice today. Although Gentry claims that practice was the same as any other day, one player disagreed. [Read more...]

Although the deal actually went down last Spring, last night offered a sense of closure for the Mike D’Antoni era. At least, one certainly hopes so. Enough already of the “he said…he said…he said,” and comparisons between styles and philosophies and personalities. Not to mention the angst-ville chorus of who’s is happy and who isn’t.

Hey, Suns fans. I had some time in between ballgames today and just wanted to check in following a tough loss last night in Los Angeles. We were obviously short-handed for the contest following the trade and while I’m not somebody who really believes in moral victories, I was glad to see us out there fighting hard to the end. The bottom line is we still came up a little bit short, but we again showed improvement and I definitely think we’re continuing to take steps in the right direction.

I had planned to write about the trends for the Phoenix Suns’ wins and losses during the first 23 games of the season after the game tonight. But the trade of Raja Bell, Boris Diaw and Sean Singletary for Jason Richardson and Jared Dudley on Wednesday afternoon changed not only the topic of my blog but also may have made the numbers from the first 25% of the season insignificant when looking for trends.

GM Steve Kerr says that throughout his time in the NBA, he’s never met a player more socially aware than Steve Nash.(Courtesy of Sports Illustrated for Kids)

After spending 14 seasons nestled into the starting lineup of whatever team he was on, Grant Hill graciously moved to the bench to make room for Matt Barnes. Although we’ve all seen the movies where the hero unselfishly steps aside for the group and everyone goes on to live “happily ever after,” that didn’t quite happen in the Valley of the Sun.

All the heavy internal baggage the Suns have been lugging during the Big Makeover hasn’t slowed Leandro Barbosa down one bit, thank goodness.

Barbosa is still the fastest thing on sneakers, and he used his speed to burn the Jazz for 25 points in less than 30 minutes, and he did almost as much damage to them when they could catch him than when they couldn’t, as he was a perfect 10 for 10 at the free throw line. [Read more...]

It’s the giving time of the year again and assist guru Steve Nash has found a way to reward those who donate generously. Through his charitable organization, the Steve Nash Foundation, Nash has launched his first All-Star Auction today. [Read more...]
